How to Get the Most From a Wood Burner Fireplace

Wood stoves, unlike traditional open fireplaces, are engineered to use wood for combustion. This allows them to meet stricter emission standards.

Wood burning stoves create dancing yellow flames and cosy crackling sounds. They also give warmth and a warm sensation. However the smoke that it produces contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Efficient

Fireplaces and stoves that burn wood offer a stunning and natural heat to your home, but they are also incredibly efficient. A top-quality wood stove can be eco-friendly up to 77%. With the rising cost of energy, it is crucial to make sure you're getting the maximum value from your log stove - the good thing is that this is more simple than ever before!

One of the main factors that determines the efficiency of a wood burning stove is will be the moisture content of the firewood. We recommend using only dried and seasoned wood that has dried over a period of at least one year, and in some cases, two years. The more dry the wood more dry, the better it burns. This results in lesser smoke and fewer harmful emissions.

Another benefit of a wood-burning stove is that it's an eco-friendly source of fuel, which is excellent for the environment. In addition, by buying locally sourced firewood you are helping to support the management of woodlands, which is a great thing for wildlife.

In terms of maintenance concerned, the primary requirement for a wood burner is to frequently scoop up and dispose of the ash. It can be a bit of a hassle, but it is worth it to get the most heat out of every log. If you wait for the ashes to completely cool, they can also be used as a non-toxic, eco-friendly melting ice. They can also be used to polish jewellery and remove the odors.

A wood burner fireplace is a truly timeless classic. While they're not as popular than gas fireplaces, the allure and charm of a fire that is roaring can't be ignored. These fires are perfect for snuggling to on cold winter nights, and they make a warm and inviting space in your home. Investing in a high-quality wood burner will pay off for a long time.

Low Carbon

Wood burners that are clean and efficient are among the best ways to save money on logs and keep your home warm. They also support local woodland management. This is an excellent method to support wildlife in your local area.

Wood-burning fireplaces and stoves create very little pollution if they are properly maintained and are used with dry, seasoned firewood. However, when they are not well maintained or using wood of poor quality the smoke generated by them can contain fine particles (known as particulate pollution) which can cause irritation to the lung and other organs. It also contains carbon monoxide and toxic air pollutants like benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Inhaling these types of air pollution may cause lung irritation wheezing, coughing and asthma attacks. It could even lead to serious health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, or premature death.

Some people worry that using a wood burning stove can cause climate change however this isn't necessarily the case. Wood burning produces energy that is carbon-neutral. The wood absorbs carbon dioxide throughout its life. When burned carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.

Since the wood is sourced locally, it reduces the amount of pollution that is released during transportation. It is also essential to select high-quality, seasoned hardwoods as these will have an extended and even burn than softwoods.

Modern, EPA certified wood stoves and heaters (such as those manufactured by Charlton & Jenrick) have much lower emissions than older stoves. They are certified to meet 2020 EPA standards, which are considerably more stringent than the previous emission limits.

All wood-burning stoves must be fully vented to the outside of your home to ensure they do not cause a build-up of exhaust within your home. By keeping flames above the logs, and ensuring you make use of dry, seasoned wood, all of our current clean burn and DEFRA exempt stoves can produce very clear exhaust. They also have particle levels of 60 percent or less below the DEFRA limit.

A wood-burning stove with a hybrid unit or catalytic converter could be the best low carbon heating solution. These units ignite gasses and particles from the initial burning in a second stage by mixing them superheated air. They then funnel the remaining particulates and gasses through a catalytic combustion combustor for an additional and final combustion, decreasing emissions to levels much lower than the standards set by the government.

Clean Burn

Cleanburn wood stoves burn fuel at the highest possible efficiency. This results in the emission of a small amount of particles into the air when burning wood. The air management system of the stove controls the intake and ventilation of gases, ensuring that the combustion process takes place in a sealed and controlled environment. It also regulates the height of the flame to maximize heat output and minimize emissions.

This means that your chimney and the surrounding area will be cleaner than older stoves. Particulate matter (also known as particle pollution) from wood that is not fully combusted can cause respiratory problems like wheezing and coughing and can lead to the development of heart disease as well as stroke, diabetes, and other serious health issues. Air pollution caused by wood burning is an important factor in poor air quality in urban areas.

The smoke from poorly combusted wood contains fine particulate pollution and hazardous air pollutants, including carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, benzene, formaldehyde and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These particles can be absorbed into the lungs and other organs causing discomfort, damage and even death. Airborne dust can also contaminate the surfaces in your home and give a gritty feel to rooms.

It is important to select top quality, seasoned, and dried firewood when using your fireplace with a wood burner. The most efficient woods for heating are hardwoods such as beech, ash, and oak. Hardwoods have a high density and BTU content, and they provide more heat than softwoods.

It is also important to determine if your local authority has any rules regarding wood burning. They could include rules for nuisance or odor and visible emissions or smoke opacity limits.

It is important to keep the glass of a wood stove that has an open front that is free of grime and deposits. You can make use of a dry towel or oven cleaner spray for this. You can also add bicarbonate soda and water to the glass.

Regular maintenance of your chimney and stove is also vital. Regular chimney cleanings are necessary to eliminate creosote, and ensure that the flue is working correctly. Be sure to note dates for inspections on a regular basis in your diary, as this will help you avoid costly repairs and extend the life of your wood burner.

Low Maintenance

Many people opt to install wood burning fireplaces because of the warmth and natural beauty they provide. However, this kind of fire requires some upkeep and maintenance. If not maintained and cleaned regularly the chimney, flue, and stove could have the potential to cause fires in your home. Fireplaces are also a great source of heat when the power goes out, particularly in winter, when snow storms could cause branches of trees to fall and knock down under-hanging power lines.

Utilizing a wood burner to heat your home will reduce your carbon footprint substantially compared to other fossil fuel sources such as gas. Modern wood stoves, inserts, and fireplaces are designed to meet EPA standards (Environmental Protection Agency), which means they produce very little emissions. The more well-seasoned wood is, the more efficient it will be as well which means you'll burn less to generate the same amount of heat.

The fireplaces need some attention and maintenance. They should be kept away from materials that ignite and have a screen in place. The air flow can be improved by keeping the grate clear of ash and other debris. This will ensure that the fire is burning longer and your home in good order. It is recommended that your chimney and stove cleaned at least twice a year to prevent creosote accumulation that could create a fire hazard or clog and limit circulation.

It may take some time for a new homeowner to learn to ignite, light and maintain a constant fire in the fireplace. However, once you have achieved the art of creating and maintaining an open flame in your wood burner, it will be a source of lasting pleasure that will provide heat and warmth for your home year after year.

Wood burning fireplaces have been in use in some form or another for more than 500 years and they've gained a new following because of their energy efficiency and sustainability, as well as the natural warmth and scent of real wood.
